The recent trend, and one I used before it became popular, is to develop a script that does what you want. You can write it, run it, test it, all with dummy targets, to get it totally debugged. Change the directories, files, etc. to the real target, and run it manually a few times to be absolutely certain it does what you want. Nothing more, nothing less. Then, ultimately, merely use cron to call your script when you want it automatically called. If you have doubts about cron syntax, then use cron to call it while it's still using dummy targets, before you make it a "live" utility. -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com Arthur's Laws of Love: (1) People to whom you are attracted invariably think you remind them of someone else.
